Hi Earl,

This is the true spirit of what forums should be like.  I am a 
newbie and I listen carefully what the "Oldies" have to say - Stefan 
being an "oldie".  Experience is worth a LOT!  Often times I come up 
with an idea, voice it in a forum, and it gets shot down as being 
tried already.  That isn't a bad thing, it saves me a lot of time by 
avoiding all the pitfalls of other's experiements.

However, if a person is an adventerous newbie, listen to the details 
of what has been tried, and see if you can put a new spin on some of 
them.  

Personally, I find the advice in this forum and E-101 to be very 
good from the "Elders".  Much appreaciate from this Newbie!
